Renaming a File if a Another File With the Same Name Exists

[_jims]

@iamdannywyatt

Is there a way to check if there's a file with the same name in the destination folder and rename the file I'm about to move, but adding a number at the end by incrementing it?

Hi, @iamdannywyatt.

Buried in Finder Assistant are two subroutine macros, one that creates a unique file and one that creates a unique folder.

If you download those subroutine macros from the link above, here are two example calling actions.

---

Execute a Subroutine.kmactions (708 B)

---

The above would create SomeFile.txt, SomeFile - 0000.txt, SomeFile - 0005.txt,...

---

Execute a Subroutine.kmactions (687 B)

---

The above would create SomeFolder, SomeFolder 010, SomeFolder 030,...
